It has no function in game right now at all. S.2s radar was not for air-to-air use.



Dont know the name of it, but its the only countermeasures early Buccaneers had:

No Sea Vixen ever had guns. The DH.110 prototype did, but that couldn't carry Firestreaks, Red Top and has not a great deal of information on thats required to create the model and FM. So that spesific prototype is not exactly viable for introduction.



Its not a combination. The base S.2 had AIM-9B and access to the flare pod as you can see from the image above here:

As far as the information we have, this configuration was never done. Generally if these pods were to be mounted, its pairs of 2. The same with the early AIM-9B. All material that does exist does not point to only 1 ever being mounted.


We cross into the realm then of a more "personalized" loadout which is a system that we don't currently have and can drastically effect the balance of many aircraft in game.


For later Buccaneers yes, it was much more standard to have 1 AIM-9G/L or later and then the more advanced ECM pod on the opposite pylon.

Can confirm this now. I managed to find some 1/72 Resin ones so I can make a WT Buccaneer model

"Microcell pod" is what they are described as:

Nothing new thus far. It joins a queue of things to be done. No ETA for now.

Bit too soon to call that im afraid. I would imagine its still plausible as a future prospect.

Unfortunately these are for later modifications (Mainly S.2B).

Generally it's simply taken on a case by case basis of the aircraft. We can pass these on for review and see what the outcome is. However I'm fairly sure it's already been checked out.


In this case, there's sources that spesifcally say takeoff was an issue as well as limiting fuel load when the 16 X 1000 payload was tested.
